DAILY POST.
THE STEUBENVILLE RAILROAD
BRIDGE ACROSS THE OHIO.
.WM. GEAFP
The Post Roatl Bill in the Senate
On Saturday last Mr. Wade called up, in
the United States Senate, House Dill No.
1102. declaring the bridge partly construct
ed over the Ohio river at Steubenville a
lawful structure. The bridge, if construct
ed without a draw, is to leave an unob
structed headway in the channel of the
river of not less than ninety feet above
low-water mark, and such channel or
water-way is to havean unobstructed width
of not less than two hundred feet between
the piers next to the channel or water-way.
The bridge is to be a public highway, and
is established a post road for the purpose
of transmission of mails ol the United
States. The Steubenville and Indiana
iiailroad Company, chartered by the Leg
islature of the State of Ohio, and the
Halliday’s Cove Uailroad Company, char
tered by the State of Virginia, or eitherof
them, are authorized to have, main
tain, and operate the bridge when com.
plated, subject to the provisions now to be
enacted ; and the officers and crews of nlj
vessels and boats navigating that river arc
required to regulate theusanf their ves
sels und boat!, and of any pipes or chim
neys belonging to them so as not to inter
fere with the elevation, construction, and
use ol the bridge. It will uovertheb?ss be
lawful tor any oilier railroad company
whose line of road may be built to the
Ohio river, in accordance with the terms
ot the charter of such company, to build
a bridge acr.i.iS this river f **r the more
peite« t connection nl any .such read and
ter the passage o? trains tiicrcoj, under
tile limitations and condition of this en
actment.
.Authority is tu be given that any bridge
erected under tin- privileges of' this net
may.at the option of the company building
the same, be built either ns a drawbridge,
with a pivot or other form of'draw, or
with unbroken and continuous spaas. If
tin* bridge be made with unbroken ami
continuous spans, it is not to he of less
elevation than ninety feet above low-water
mark over the channel: ami tin* piers are
not to be of less distance apart than two
hundred feel. If any bridge built under
these privileges shall be cunstructed as a
drawbridge, it may be constructed with
piers not less than two hundred teet apart,
except that at tin* interval designated for
the draw, the space of clear water-wav
may be reduced to. but is not to be b-ss
than one hundred feet on each -id. of tiu\
pivot or centra! pier of im- draw; and the
draw is to he located smtnedinleiv over the
channel of the river a- understood at the
time .of tin* erection of tin* bridge. Both
spans of the draw are at ail times to remain
open for the passage of boats, except
when required to be closed for the passage
of engines or trains, and for ten minutes
preceding the time nnv Mich engines »>r
trains maybe dm*. Anv bridge or bridge*
erected under tin* provisions of thi.. act
are to be lawful structure-;, am! to be recog
nized and known a* po<t roans, upon
which no higher charge is lie made for tin
transmission over the same of the mails,
the troops, and munitions of war of the
l nited States, than the rate per mile
which the company erecting the bridge
may from time to time receive uti Un
balance of their lino or lines lor such ser
vices.
JDS. R.IiUNTKK
W t* give a portion nt llu* discussion upor
the bill, between Mr. rowan and Mr.
Wadi*, omitting unimportant details >in<!
tin? side remarks of other members :
Mr. COWAN*. I move lo amend tin
Itr.sL section of the bill by striking out the
proviso in these words:
l\ ocii{t'i(. That when completed, if con
structed without a draw', it ahull leave an
unobstructed headway in the channel of
the river of not less than ninety feet above
low-water mark, and such ehatmel or
water-way shall havean unobstructed width
of not. less than two hundred feet between
the piers next to said channel or water
way ; or said bridge, i! constructed with a
draw, the same la* constructed as provided
in the fourth serLion of this art, as to .do
vation of draw and width of channel, and
said draw shall remain upen except a* in
said .section provided.
And inserting in lieu thereof:
7Voro/r#/, That it shall be so construct
ed that when completed there shall he left
beneath it an obstructed head-way imme
diately and lairly over the main channel of
the said river, of at least ninety feet above
low-water mark, and that there shall he
left such main channel or water-way free
and unobstructed,of width of at least three
huudred feet bet ween the piers on each
side thereof.
This, Mr. President, is in my judgment
a most important bill, and one in which
the interests of at least six States are most
intimately involved. Itinrolves the ques
tion of a grant to corporations of the right
to throw bridges across the Ohio river.—
This river is a thousand miles in length,
and there are at least six States for wlyeh
it is the highway upon its shores, as well
as several others below the mouth of it
which depend upon it for such commodi
ties as coal uud lumber.
I am in favor of allowing the corpora
tions this privilege; but at the same time
1 desire that it be so guarded as not to af
fect in any way the fair and free naviga
tion of the river. lam of this opinion be
cause I think the river is a great national
highway, on which all citizens everywhere
have the right, with their drafts of all sizes
and dimensions, to navigate and travel,
and that highway ought not to be given up,
or obstructed in any way to the'detriment
of the vast trade which finds a way to
market upon its waters. It appears that
the States of Virginia and Ohio authorized
the construction of a bridge at Steuben
ville. 1 know nothing about the terms of
the charter by which that structure was
authorized to be put there; but it seems
that now, perhaps, Virginia has withdrawn
her authority in and about the same, and
the work fails on that account. The ob
ject of the bill, in the first place, is to au-;
thorieethat structure and give it legal val
idity, by virtue of the power over post
roads vested in the Untted States. There
fore, the first clause of the bill is not ob
jectionable, unless the bridge itself, as now
on the way to completion,.is objectionable,
and of that I know nothing, because I
know nothing of the specifications upon
which it is to be constructed. The pro
viso in the bill, as reported from the com
mittee, provides that the bridge shall be
ninety feet above low water mark, and I
suppose, as the - river is at present navi*
Sted, perhaps that is sufficient. But if
e canal at the falls of the Ohio at Louis
ville should be enlarged so as to make it
of capacity sufficient to admit first-class
boats, it may be that ninety feet would be
too low for the chimneys of the proper
daft, However that may be hereafter, I
am not now prepared to say that ninety
feet is not sufficient. The most difficult
question, however, is as to the width of
the channel to be left under this bridge—
the width of the main channel. The bill
provides for two hundred feet between the
piers next the channel.
I think I may safely say to the Senate
upon my own responsibility that to narrow
the channel of the Ohio river to two hun
dred feet would be to obstruct it tosuch an
extent as to cripple the whole trade ; and
why ? The trade upon this river comes
from its two principal branches, the Mo
nongahelu from the South and the Alle
gheny from the North. They unite to
'make the Ohio. From the Monongahela
river comes the coal, and from the Alle
gheny the lumber. The coal is carried in
arks and barges to the market. These
arks being square boxes, without any form
of boat other than a rectangular box has,
are perhaps one hundred and uxty or one
hundred and seventy. feet in length and
twenty-five or thirty feet in width. They
are usually run in pain when they are used
simply as floats, tied together, and manned
by perhaps twenty or thirty men. Each
pair carries from forty to fifty thousand
bushels of coal. Each boat carries and is
of itself of the weight of perhaps a thou
sand tons, loaded in the water some seven
and a half feet deep, full load. These
boats are obliged to start from Pittsburgh
always at daylight in the morning, because'
upon the first hundred miles of the Ohio
river are.to be found almost all the diffi
culties of the navigation of that river, all
its principal difficulties; and it is of great
importance to those who navigate it with
rafts, which depend very much upon its
current tor their guidance, that they start
out in the morning, in order that they may
pa-js hy that dithcult and dangerous por
tion of the river before night overtakes
them. The Senate will observo that this
bridge is to be located about, perhaps,
ninety miles below Pittsburgh, below the
head «»f the riv*r, uudorconr.se is to be
•ussed in tin* night time,
no raft. »»» heavy boat, will ever .start out.
there which will not be obliged to pass
this bridge in the night, and I will state
the reason why. This boat, of .such im
mense weight, a thousand tons of stone
coal, is moved only by the current, having
no headway or impetus of its own, and it
is almost utterly impossible to land ; it is
worth, perhaps, one half tho boat and
cargo to attempt to land. Tho plankiug
of the boat is only about an inch and a
quarter, and when interposed between the
weight of a thousand tons, if you please,
anti the bottom of the river, it is easy to
sec that it is mere puper in case the boat
should touch anything. If it touches a
nick or a snag it is cut instantly : and to
attempt to land the boat against the shore,
especially if the shore is not as dean and
smooth as a floor, is almost 10 insure
the destruction of the boat. Hence it is
that these boats are never lauded unlessin
extremity, ami it must be a dire extremity
v. he h .will induce one ot them to land after
they once .-tarL. They only run in flood
time : tlo v start out when tho river is full
and when i* is beginning to fall. When
therheris rising it is highest in the mid
dle. and l!i<* counter current:; .set mil from
Sue rente;- In the shores. U 10-n it begins
to fall it runs into tho center, and a heavy
boat of this kind started will keep itsclfin
the center to a great extent without much
difficult v.
Now. bore i> the difficulty wish regard
t«» this bridge: in coming to it, it"you arc
not exactly in tin-right place when you are
a mile above the passage when* von in
tended to go through, in that mile it is ut
tcrly i.npovribhi to move this boat ten
foot, perhaps, either one side or the other
with all the force vim can get. The
strength of a man with an oar on a boatof
this kind in a current of six miles an hour
will not move it to the right or left ten feet
in the mile, because you run this mile in
about ten or twelve minutes, and if you
tire not exactly in the right place when
von are a mile above the bridge, when you
are in sight of it, you are just as likely to
run against a pier ns you are to hit the two
hundred feet of channel. Any one ac
quainted with perspective can very readi
ly see that in approaching a passage two
huudred feet, wide, at the distance of a
mile, even in broad daylight, and when
you can see it well, it is a very narrow
opening.
There is another thing,’ Mr. President :
yon may lie within one hundred or two
hundred yards of these piers in broad day
light, in the open stream, when it is almost
an utter impossibility for you to tell which
side you are going upon. 1 think it is the
universal experience o:i that river, where
boats ar>: lost upon the heads of islands or
upon obstructions, that they are rowed
upon them ; that it arises from the fact
that the pilot is endeavoring to go upon
one side of the island, when the secret
counter current, of which he is not aware,
is really taking him on the other; and be
tween the exertions of the current on the
one hand, and his rowing on the other, he
runs upon the obstructions, so difficult is
it to determine all these things; and hence
the Senate will perceive the necessity of a
full, fair, and wide channel.
Igo a little further. I have been speak
ing of boats which are merely floated upon
the river; but recently, as the trade has
progressed, strong steamboats are used
for the purpose of towing these boats, and
they take ten or twelve of them in com
pany. 11 is true they do not go very rapid
ly ; but the advantage of the steamboat is,
that it gives to the boats an additional im
petus over that which they had by means
of their own weight, and enables them, as
the pilots say, to be steered. Now, as 1
understand these fleets,'when these boats
are tied together with the tug iu the midst
of them, they are from one hundred and
fifty to one huudred and sixty feet wide,
seven or'eight boats abreast, or more.—
Any one can see that with a fleet of that
sort, and of such enormous weight, it
would be almost impossible—l speak now
of navigating the river in open aay when
it is perfectly calm, and when there are no
natural difficulties —to get these boats
within such a narrow space asthis bill pro
vides for leaving under this bridge.
So much with regard to the coal tradeof
the river. Now, with regard to the lumber
trade. This lumber comes down the Alle-
gheny rivjr in strings; that is, the boards
are laid lengthwise,and then they are cross
ed and built up together until*a kiud of
raft is constructed, one string wide; or in
other words, it may be two, three, or four
hundred feet long, hut it is as wide as &
single board is long. This string may be
twelve or sixteen feet wide. When these
rafts reach the mouth of the Allegheny
river and come to the Ohio, they are tied
together, side by side, and ten, twelve, and
I think even as high as eighteen strings
are sometimes tied together. At the end
of each string is an oar, and a man to
work it The Senate may form some idea
of these rafts, and what they amount to,
when I inform them that they sometimes
cover an acre and a quarter; and upon
these rafts yon can find houses with chim
nies and stables, with homes and cattle
and haystacks on board, vast piles
of shingles, cooper’s stuff and cooper’s
ware, all carried along. They, as I said
before, are obliged to navigate this parti
cular part of the river in dayljght. They
start in the morninjf and get to this Steu
benville bridge at night. I think lam sale
in saying that a raft of this kind cannot be
landed under three miles of clean river
shore. It is landed by rowing it hard up
against the shore and allowing it to rub
along until its momentum is lost by the
gradual attrition upon the shore, helped
as well as men can do it by taking out
halyards and ropes and catching at what
ever they can. It i.s quite a scene to
witness a landing occupying fifty or sixty
men in doing it, all excited to the highest
pitch.
Now, to suppose that a fleet of that
magnitude could be run through two hun
dred feet at this point is, to my mind, ut
terly impossible. It there was no diffi
culty in the way of landing, and if this
bridge could be run always in daylight, I
should feel it my bounden duty to the peo
ple who have an interest in this river to
oppose this project. My own best opinion
is, and I have had in my early life con
siderable experience on these rivers that
four hundred feet would be but a fair
channel for the trade and traffic upon that
river.
